Anon goes on a first date
(sh.itjust.works)
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
I def agree about the level of happened that is going on here, but in defense of this fictional date: while it's not always good to judge a book by its cover...if I'm being honest with myself, I'd have a certain image in mind and a certain reaction if I met someone at a party and just in conversation, not even a date, asked what they were into and the response was "anime and one specific video game".
I mean, I wouldn't stop talking to them, but I'd certainly have preconceived notions that I'd be very surprised if they were very inaccurate.
And it's not so much that it's wrong, as that it gives me insight into the type of person I'm talking to. And honestly, if I were looking to date, and this person matched my preferred gender, appearance, etc...well...an answer like that would certainly be a "yellow flag" and a clue that I may not be so compatible with this person, based on others I've met with similar interests.
Mind you, it certainly doesn't justify any rudeness, but it's a coffee date. She owes OP nothing. And while she could have been nicer, limiting conversation and politely excusing herself at her earliest convenience isn't the worst thing she could've done.
